How to Use Assault Rifles

Versatile at Any Given Range

Assault Rifles are highly flexible weapons to use from all distances. They have an easy-to-control recoil at long range, pin-point accuracy at mid-range, and an extremely fast firing rate at close range.

Effective When Used with Stalker Boots

Stalker Boots provide quicker ADS (Aim Down Sight) speed to Assault Rifles, making them even deadlier as these guns have a very easy recoil pattern and longer range when firing it while using the iron sight.

To equip the Stalker Boots, go to your Loadout menu and select it under the Boots category.
